Prewashing

Tips for energy saving

Following information will help you

use the product in an ecological and

energy-efficient manner.

• Wipe away any coarse food

remnants on the dishes before

putting them in the product.

• Operate the product after filling it

completely.

• When selecting a programme,

refer to the "Programme Table".

• Do not put more detergent than

suggested on the detergent

package.

Water softening system

C The dishwasher requires soft

water. If the hardness of the water

is above 6°dH, the water must be

softened and descaled. Otherwise,

ions that create the hardness will

accumulate on the surfaces of the

dishes and may adversely affect

the washing, shining and drying

performances of the product.

The product is equipped with a water

softening system which reduces the

hardness of incoming water. This

system softens the supply water that

enters into the product to a level that

will allow washing the dishes with the

required quality.

Adjusting the water softening

system

Washing performance will increase

when water softening system is

adjusted properly.

Use the test stripe supplied with the

product to determine the supply water

hardness in order to adjust the system.

12

EN

1012

Adding salt

Water softening system needs to be

regenerated in order for the product

operates with the same performance

continuously. Dishwasher salt is used

for this purpose.

C Use in your product only the

special softening salts produced

particularly for use in dishwashers.

C We recommend using granular

or powder softening salts. Do not

use salts containing insoluble

substances such as table salt

or common salt in the machine.

Performance of water softening

system may deteriorate in time.

C Salt reservoir will fill with water

when you start the product.

Therefore, add the softening salt

before starting the machine.

1. First take the lower basket out to

add softening salt.

2. Turn the salt reservoir lid in counter

clockwise to open it (A, B).

C Before initial use, fill the water

softening system with 1 litre of

water (C).

3. Fill the salt reservoir with salt by

using salt funnel (D). To speed up

dissolution rate of salt in water, stir

it with a spoon.

C You can put about 2 kg of softening

salt into the salt reservoir.

4. Replace the lid and tighten it

securely when the reservoir is full.





EN

1014

Put the detergent into the detergent

dispenser just before operating the

machine as illustrated below.

1. Push the latch to right to open the

detergent dispenser lid (A).

5. If you will not start a washing

programme immediately after

adding the salt, run the machine

empty in the shortest programme

to dissolve and wash away the

scattered salt in the machine.

C Since different salt brands in the

market have different particle sizes

and since the water hardness

may vary, dissolution of the salt in

water may take a couple of hours.

Therefore, Salt Indicator remains

on for a while after adding salt into

the machine.

Detergent

You can use powder or tablet detergent

in the machine.

C Only use in the machine the

detergents produced particularly

for use with dishwashers. We

recommend you not to use

detergents that contain chlorine

and phosphate as they are harmful

for the environment.

C Contact the detergent producer if

the dishes are wet and/or if you

notice limescale spots particularly

on glasses after the washing

programme is over.

Adding detergent

C Refer to the “Programme Table”

to determine the correct amount

of detergent for the selected

programme.

B Do not put solvents into the

detergent dispenser. There is the

risk of explosion!

2. Put suggested amount of powder

or tablet detergent in the dispenser.

C Inside the detergent dispenser,

there are level markings that help

you use appropriate amount of

detergent. When brimful, detergent

dispenser will contain 40 cm³ of

detergent. Fill detergent up to 15

cm³ or 25 cm³ level marks in the

detergent dispenser according

to fullness of the machine and/or

soiling degree of the dishes (1).

C Information about suitable places

(detergent dispenser, basket etc.)

in the dishwasher to place the

usage instructions on the packages

of the tablet detergents.

Tablet detergent types commonly found

in the market:

2in1: Contains detergent, rinse aid or

water softening salt

3in1: Contains detergent, rinse aid and

water softening salt

4in1: Contains glass protectors in

addition to detergent, rinse aid and

water softening salt

5in1: Contains glass and stainless

steel protectors in addition to

detergent, rinse aid and water

softening salt

C Observe the instructions of

the detergent manufacturer on

the package when using tablet

detergents.

When you switch to powder

detergent from tablet detergent:

1. Make sure that salt and rinse aid

reservoirs are full.

2. Set the water hardness to the

highest level and perform an empty

run.

3. After the empty washing cycle,

review the user manual and

readjust the water hardness level

so as to suit the water supply.

4. Make the appropriate rinse aid

settings.

C Depending on the model, salt

indicator and/or rinse aid indicator

must be enabled again if they were

disabled before.

3. Close the detergent dispenser lid

by pressing on it lightly. A "click"

will be heard when the lid is closed.

C In programmes with prewash and

at high temperature, in which you

use tablet detergents, make sure

that the detergent dispenser lid is

closed firmly.

C Use powder detergent in short

programmes without prewash

since the solubility of the tablet

detergent changes depending on

the temperature and time.

A Excessive usage of powder

detergents will cause the detergent

not dissolve completely and will

also cause scratches on the

glassware.

Tablet detergents

Table detergents exhibit water

softening and / or rinse aid effect in

addition to detergent effect. Some

types of these detergents also contain

special-purpose washing chemicals

such as glass and stainless steel

protectors.

Rinse aid

C The rinse aid used in dishwashers

is a special combination used to

increase drying efficiency and

prevent water or limescale stains

on the washed items. For this

reason, care must be paid to have

rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir

and to use rinse aids produced

specially for dishwashers only.

Check Rinse Aid Indicator to determine

whether it is necessary to add rinse

aid or not 3 (depends on the model).

Having a dark light on the indicator

shows that there is sufficient amount of

rinse aid in the dispenser. If the colour

of the indicator is light, add rinse aid.

1. Open the lid of the rinse aid

reservoir by pressing its latch (B).

4. Turn the rinse aid amount

adjuster manually to a position

between 1 and 6 (4). If there are

stains on tableware items after

washing, level must be increased

and if there is a blue trace after

wiping them by hand, it must be

decreased. This is set to position 4

as factory default.

accumulation of water in deep

hollows is prevented.

A To prevent possible injuries, always

place the sharp and pointed

dishes such as service fork, bread

knife, etc. upside down so as their

pointed ends will face down or

they will lie horizontally on the dish

baskets.

• Unload dishes in the lower basket
